Good to hear from this Irishman more. Also, I think Geoff Tate's Queensryche's FU is a really terrible debut, which can be called a debut thanks to the court case not acknowledging it as a real Queensryche album.

I love Lou Reed but no his debut was not good at all. Pablo Honey isn't shite at all, not particularly great compared to their later stuff but for what it was it was cool. Bestial Devastation was a horrid Sepultura release and their first full-length wasn't much better. Schizophrenia to Roots is balling though.

Screaming Life and Fopp were indeed two separate EPs but both were released before Ultramega OK so I'm cheating a bit and counting them both as SG's debut. Bestial Devastation is horrible- stupid (and awkwardly translated) lyrics, awful guitar tone (out of tune in some places) and abysmal production- yeah, I know it was a cheaply made EP and sometimes it works in favour of the music but in this case it does not. Yes' debut is also boring and uninspired.
